To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the passing of brilliant guitarist Ian Boulton Smith, and the name being passed on and used to gain even greater heights with Rock giants Iron Maiden, the Bolton Iron Maiden will be making a rare appearance at this years CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL on the 31 July 2026

The band will be virtually the same line up as the 2006 Album launch and reunion gig at the Soundhouse in Bolton with Paul TJ O’Neill on drums and lead vocals, Dan Collins on lead guitar, bassist Garry Cuttress will be filling in for Derek Austin due to ill health (we all wish him a full and speedy recovery) and Pauls two daughters Rachael O’Neill and Victoria O’Neill-Neeves on Backing vocals – with Victoria on sax too.

All are really excited to be playing this well loved Rock Festival – and hope to meet up with old friends Stray too!
